My Triling System

170 Chapter 170: Suspicious Sophia

Most of Kevin’s question has been answered by the Deans. Although he was still wondering what Rajshah did in the past that led to his banishment. And he also wanted to know how the last Triling died. But none of the deans could present answers to him.

Sunny would have helped if only she could see the past but her vision only shows her the possibility of what was to come in the future. So she couldn’t help Kevin in that aspect.

Kevin was about to leave that Sophia told him to wait.

“I know you must be angry at me for cheating during the fight between you and Max.” Sophia said as she place the expensive flying broom and I in front of Kevin.

“I’m not asking for your forgiveness, ’cause I’m sure you won’t forgive me. I might have killed you back then. But please forgive my son. He’s done nothing wrong, I used my spell on him and he couldn’t stop me. Therefore, according to my promise, I present these reward to you and I’m ready to pronounce you winner to everyone in the assembly hall.” Sophia said, carefully studying Kevin’s reaction.

A chuckle followed Kevin’s mouth after Sophia ended her speech.

“Thanks for the reward but I’ll want you to cancel something. You know I’m leaving soon. Instead of announcing me, I’ll be glad if you could focus on how the light and dark will come together and become one. We are at the brink of war. We need to be united to be able to defeat our enemies. So cancel any plan of announcing me... No! In fact, don’t tell everyone that I’m a Triling. When the time comes they will all know.”

“As for your plead, I’m not angry at you two anymore. You helped in so many ways. Although I was angry before, now, I’m no longer angry.”

“Thank you so much Kevin. I’m so relieved now. I heard you were my Daughter’s husband, and felt bad for what I did to you.”

.....

“Do you feel bad after hearing that I’m a Triling or before discovering that I was a Triling?” Kevin asked.

‘Kev, you shouldn’t have said that.’ Louis challenged him.

“Huh, what do you mean?” Sophia asked.

“Sorry Dean. Forget about what I said.” Kevin said as he stood up from his seat.

“Ah ah, that reminds me.” Sophia said. “I want to ask about your Triling Powers, are you able to use fairy wings now. You know, the former Triling was able to fly using fairy wings even though he was naturally an elf.” Sophia asked but Pretta suddenly caught her off.

“Why would you be asking something like that Sophia.”

She glared at Pretta, and gave her a scornful look.

‘Am I the only one that think Sophia is acting suspicious?’ The System said.

‘I notice that she wants to know a lot about me. When I asked about what killed the former Triling, her eyes twitched and she hesitated before giving a reply, so I don’t really trust her.’ Kevin replied.

“But she’s the mother of your wife.” Louis said.

“I don’t trust Jeri that much too. I just made her my wife cause you made me do that. And because she was useful to me in some ways.”

He glanced at the anticipating eyes of Sophia, her mouth formed a smile that Kevin was sure wasn’t real.

She was showing him fake smiles so she could obtain answers from him. The reason was unknown but Kevin was sure he will know the answer soon. So for now, he will act like he couldn’t hurt a fly.

“I actually don’t have what you’re talking about. I just started getting a few powers but I’m yet to learn how to use them.”

“Is that so? Okay no problem.” She said.

“Can I know why you’re asking?” Kevin said.

“It’s nothing. I was just curious that’s all. You don’t have to be worried about my stupid questions.” Sophia giggled, trying to act normal.

Kevin glared at the flying broom that was on the table, it has some kind of tag attached to it and on the tag was a signature.

< Leak Skill Activated >

< Signature of the dark creatures, it is placed on the items they own like; horses, clothes, swords, and other weapons >

Even though Kevin had obtained his answers from the system, he decided to ask Sophia and see if he could trust him or not.

“What is this thing for?” Kevin asked.

“Err, that? It’s just the black creatures signature tag. We place it on things we own. The broom was bought from a dark merchant, he placed it there so people would see the tag and be directed to buy things from him. If you don’t want it, I can removed the tag. It’s useless anyway.”

“Nope don’t bother. I might want to buy one myself.” Kevin said.

“But it’s so expensive. Will you be able to afford it? You’re still a student and I don’t think you have a family that could sponsor that for you.”

Now that Kevin heard this, he recalled that he told the school that he was an orphan. Sophia must have done a background search on him and found out that he was an orphan. That means she do not know about the wizard and the queen.

But that doesn’t explain why she was curious about his Triling powers. There must be something else.

“How much is the broom?” Kevin asked.

“About 3000 dollars.”

“Oh shit, that is so expensive. I don’t think I will be able to buy it. Then it means, I have to take good care of the one you gave me.”

Kevin placed his hands on the flying broom and the other items and they all disappeared into the shadow space.

“By the way, thanks for the gift. I’m sure they will be useful for me in future.”

After Kevin said this, he left her office as he made his way for Lina’s staffroom, but Sunny had run after him even in her blind state.

“Kevin, wait I have something for you.”
